I was incredibly lucky—when all flights were canceled due to a strike in Belgium, I ended up staying at a place that felt like home. It reminded me of the old houses I’ve read about in fairy tales. From the moment I stepped inside, I was completely amazed. The layout was truly unique: I had to climb two flights of stairs to reach my room, which made it feel like I was heading toward a princess’s chamber in a magical world. When I finally reached my door, I couldn’t believe it was a tall, grand double door—I almost expected a royal welcome. The room itself was spacious and beautifully appointed, complete with a fireplace I’d always dreamed of having. Even the door lock used an old-fashioned key, the kind you often see worn as a decorative pendant. For someone used to living in concrete high-rises and riding elevators daily, this experience felt like stepping straight into a storybook. Yes, it wasn’t perfect—maybe no fairy tale house ever is—but that imperfection is part of its charm. This stay was unforgettable, deeply special, and exactly the kind of escape I needed during a chaotic travel day.
The hotel's location is great for airport access—super convenient if you're catching a flight. However, the staff attitude was disappointing. Most airport personnel seemed unfriendly and unapproachable, even when I politely asked questions. It felt awkward and discouraging, especially when I needed urgent medical assistance. I had to wait in a long line of about 100 people just to go through passport control, with zero empathy or support. This lack of care really affected my experience. I hope the team can improve training and customer service so future guests don’t face the same frustration.
I had a great stay overall at this hostel—everything was excellent except for one noisy roommate who snored loudly throughout the night. That said, it wasn’t the hostel’s fault, just an unavoidable part of shared accommodations. The location is convenient: close to shopping areas and restaurants, with easy access to buses heading to the train station. While it’s not right next to the station, the bus ride is short and affordable. I’d recommend using the luggage storage service offered here if you’re arriving with heavy bags—saving you from carrying them all the way. The common areas are clean, staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Perfect for budget travelers who want comfort and convenience without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back!
